MEF Grant Spotlight

We are proud to highlight some of the grants awarded to Merrillville Community School Corporation teachers for innovative programs benefiting students at all levels. Please take the time to read how our supporters’ generous donations are impacting learning in the classroom.

The new Robotics Club expanded to two teams for competition in 2018. These students will be exposed to a CAD program donated to all first teams to develop their robot virtually before they start building one.

A grant provided to K-4 teachers at Salk School established a sensory/calming area, providing students the opportunity to use items to calm down, self soothe, release anger, and work through frustration in a positive, nonjudgmental climate.
